New class

Friday was Alexander's last day in the yellow class, actually it was all of my yellow kiddos last day. So we had a big ice cream party for them!! I put together a slide show of all the memories from the year, it was great!!



Alexander moved up to the Green class and he loves it!!

His new teacher are Ms. Cynthia...

And Ms. Kathy.

He loves being in their class, and while I loved getting to spend time with Alexander it is so nice for him not to be in my class. I am sad to have to leave the most wonderful job in the world, but I know God has a great place for me in Opelika.

BIG NEWS

We made another visit to our favorite park Deanna Rose. This time Jeremy took Alexander fishing this time. He caught a "Green fish with black polka-dot" as Alexander says. He would not have anything to do with nor would he touch the worms.



As many of you know Alexander had his first visit to the ER last week. He was playing on the ottoman when fell off hitting his head on the bricks of the fireplace. He got 3 stitches, which he thinks is pretty cool cause he is 3! We did have to wrap him up in a sheet and hold him down. The first shot is before, the middle one is waiting on the gash to numb up and the last is after the stitches....notice how sweaty he is.....he fought us hard. It was an event I pray we do not have to relive anytime soon.

Mother's Day

Jeremy had to work Sunday morning so Alexander and I skipped church and went and got some guilt ridden donuts (500 calories). The painting is what we did with our kids at school, it was really cool that I got to paint it with him. For dinner Jeremy and Alexander took me out to one of my favorite restaurants Chapala. It was YUMMY!! Alexander did give me a very precious gift, he was sitting on my lap watching TV and he grabbed my arm and said "Mommy, I love you too much", I just melted!

The Big News is that we are moving to Opelika, Alabama. Jeremy got a job there and will be starting on June 14. So needless to say we will be VERY busy packing and moving.

One REALLY bad day!

Waiting to see the Doctor.


On Friday we took Alexander to be allergy tested. He was tested for 52 different things. Poor little guy!

He did have a pretty sweet set up, watching astro boy and eating gummies.

He had to have 4 shot test in his arm. It was a bad day! On top of all of this we had to have a head CT done to see his sinus'.

Though all of this we found that he is allergic to 5 different types of mold, dust, 2 types of grass, 12 types of trees, and weeds. We will not have the CT results back until tomorrow. So to help with this we are doing a nasal spray and meds only to treat symptoms. We are going to hold off on shots until he is older.

Blessings from God!

At school this week we celebrated teacher appreciation and the week of the young child. Wednesday was PJ day and we also had a beauty day. So I did all the girls hair and nails and we let the boys pretend shave with a Popsicle sticks. Thursday was sports day and we had Popsicles, bubbles and chalk outside. Then Friday was hat and sunglasses day and we had a picnic at school.


This is what little boys are made of: monster trucks and dirt! Alexander has found a spot of dirt to have monster jam. You can see how dirty he gets when he plays outside.

Yesterday we went to the kite festival. It was a beautiful day and the winds were perfect to fly a kite! We had a picnic while we watched the kites.

God has blessed this little family with so much! We are always amazed by how much God loves us and how much He care for us. There are a couple of things in the works in our family right now I would like to ask for you to pray for us. We want God's will for our family, we are open to what He want us to do.

It is amazing how much Alexander has changed. He is growing up so fast. Today he dressed himself all by his self, from underwear, pants, shirt, socks and shoes. For a while now he has been able to do pants and underwear but today was the first time he did his shirt on his own.

Spring Fever

Seems like it has been FAR too long since we have been able to have some outdoor fun. But the last couple of week have been beautiful. Jeremy took Alexander to the park (free) Deanna Rose.


He fed the baby goats a bottle.

One of Alexander's school friends Brileigh came over to play. He had fun driving her all over in his gator.

Jer went out and washed the cars the other day.....they look good! Alexander had to help!



Alexander came out of his room last night, after I had put him to bed. He stood at the top of the stairs and in his very upset voice said "I am Mad" I could not help but laugh!!

His favorite things are his bike, the trampoline, monster trucks, colored pancakes with sprinkles, his train table, his spider man shoes and of course fruit snacks.

He HATES bugs, (like you cannot believe) corn well really any veggie but corn most of all, and dressing up.

Easter

Before and After Resurrection Roll. We put the marshmallow in the roll and once they cook the roll (tomb) is empty. Alexander said Jesus took it!

Easter morning before church! Thank God for a camera with a timer.

After church we went to Sarah's Granny's house for some really yummy home cookin' and an egg hunt. It was so fun to be treated like family when ours is so far away! We did have one hunting mishap Alexander fell and all his eggs went every where.

After a long day of church, 2 egg hunts, lunch, basketball and kite flying, Alexander was out on the way home. I love that he has still has chocolate all over his mouth!

Easter

So this is not really Easter but it is Spring and nice weather! Alexander got a bike and is doing so well on it. It is so fun to see him ride it.

We went to Bass Pro to see the (free) Easter Bunny, Alexander was so good, not even an issue with going and sitting with him. Could be that the Bunny was giving out Jelly Beans?!?

The Easter Bunny stopped by our house. Alexander kept asking where is the Easter Bunny?

Man what a handsome little man God blessed us with. All the girls at work tell me I am going to have to beat the girls off of him with a stick, But I don't think so. He is so sweet, he will one day find a beautiful Godly woman!

Easter

We took Alexander to see the new movie "How the Train your Dragon?" This PJ set was an early Easter gift. He is so cute and just so proud to be wearing it.


Mia and Papi set Alexander an Easter Basket; Tell me that is not the cutest duck!

Alexander had his Easter party and egg hunt today at school.

Grandma and Grandpa also sent Alexander an Easter basket. He loved his Spiderman shoes.

Chick-Fil-A

One of our favorite places to eat is Chick-fil-a, they have a great play area for Alexander and GREAT food! Jeremy won a competition on facebook to get to go a customer appreciation party. We got a picture with the cow.

We got LOADS of food, there were wraps, strips, nuggets, sandwiches, fruit, yogurt and so much more!

Here is Jer with the speaker, Dan Cathy. He is the president of Chick Fil A and his dad is Truitt Cathy, the owner. It was a great night.

I wanted to share some of the funny cute things Alexander is doing now:

Every 5 mins he ask: "Mom, whatcha doing?" As cute as this is it gets old, fast!

He runs up to anybody he sees and shows them whatever he is wearing: Tonight he ran up to the Chick Fil A Cow and showed him his Sandals, the cow showed Alexander that he had hooves.

He is all about brand names: Target, Walmart, Sam's Club, Skittles, Starburst. The other day Alexander was naming all the stuff at the store and the lady behind us in line thought he was reading it.

So many times a day he makes me laugh and I love every moment with him.

Last Day in Florida

Our last day in Florida we enjoyed some Lang's, one of my favorite places to eat. Alexander enjoyed some of Grandma's smoothie.



Granny and Pop went to eat with us too.

On the plane ride back we had to stop in Nashville but did not get off the plane. Alexander did not like this, he did not get that we landed and he did not get to get off. Truthfully I was ready to be off the plane too. I did snooze a little, while Alexander watched his movie and Alexander woke me up one time to say "Mommy, you sleeping?" I love him so much.



So many times I look at his beautiful little face and think how blessed I am that he is mine. God blessed me so much when He trusted me with him. Everyday is so much fun with him in it.

John's 25

My little Brother John's Birthday is tomorrow so while I was down we had a little get together for him.

This is Michael and Melody's newest little boy Matthew! He is such a doll!

Cake!



All of us minus Matthew, he was asleep!
